CHP authorities also say that a man and a woman were trapped in one of the cars involved in the crash.

Two individuals were transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital as well, but authorities could not confirm whether they were trapped at the time of the accident, nor could authorities say the severity of their injuries.

CHP originally reported that at least 10 vehicles were involved. They now believe four to six vehicles were involved, and the remaining cars at the scene pulled over to assist with emergency response efforts.

As of 11 a.m., the eastbound I-8 lanes were cleared of the accident.
